Massive boost leak?
Massive boost leak?
Well i installed my injen air intake (full) and it was perfect for a day. Now when i was driving to work i had to go into boost mode
to get into a lane. All of a sudden i loose all power above 3.5k. Gauge show's that its picking up boost up to 3.5k and once it reaches that the car just losses power. If i keep in it to 4k then the car seems to engine break hard. Only took it to 4k once and got scarred when it happened. Im trying to get a hold of a boost leak tester from someone but is it ok to drive like this?
*edit* i can hear a hissing noise from the engine bay. Could not pin point it due to my massively annoying ticking injectors. Will look at all my clamps when its day tomorrow.

my guess u either popped a vacuum hose or your hearing air leak out of the intercooler piping or at the throttle body, best bet get tbolt clamps if you dont already take pipe off spray some sticky hairspray put piping back together seat it on right and clamp it down, bing bang boom no more boost leak...if u get a full set of tbolts, do that with each connection, and shuold pretty much kiss boost leaks goodbye haha....good luck
